That's not exactly a "rebuilding year" schedule Hope is playing.

It's very strong nonConf, I think stronger than last year.  We can quibble with Marian and the Lehman tournament, but I wouldn't.

Since we don't know the state/quality of any of the MIAA teams, this statement is far cart before the horse, but I am guessing the MIAA is a single-bid league this year; I don't think the quality of Hope's and Trine's nonConf will end up mattering, unfortunately. (mattering as far as a Pool C bid--the strength of a schedule matters for far more than just that). I hope to be proven wrong!

Any big names using their 5th year option?

Gleaning from social media pictures, Hope will not have any 5th year players.

Nevertheless, I speculate Hope can reload.  They had some really good players in role positions last year, and there will be always good newcomers too.  I suspect coach Mo can get them coached up into his system (coaching experienced and new-to-your-system players doesn't always go well, note the bench saw PT diminish late last season).

(Please check my logic)

I wanted to see how many Career minutes Hope players had played, that were returning, and compare that number to past years.

The way I accounted for different numbers of total games per season is I scaled minutes played to 33 games (the most games Hope has played over the past handful of seasons).

Year -> Sum of returning minutes (Career)
2023-2024 -> 5,229
2023 -> 7,459
2022 -> 13,131
2021 -> 14,667
2020 -> 9,690
2019 -> 5,946
2018 -> 7,102
2017 -> 9,692
2016 -> 7,245
2015 -> 9,861
2014 -> 6,536
2013 -> 7,437

The value of returning career minutes counts are less insightful, since they're all scaled to that 33 games number.

But looking at the differences between years IS insightful.

Covid basically delayed everything by a year, which (1) extended the playing careers of a lot of key players, (2) drastically reduced bench minutes for 2nd and 3rd stringers, which didn't "catch up" until this year.

Hope's highest returner is Jada Garner, with 746 "scaled career minutes" played. That would rank 55th most over the last 13 seasons.

Any details on the exit of Megan Bennett?

Trine's 2023-24 WBB roster is up:

https://trinethunder.com/sports/wbkb/2023-24/roster

Observations:  One addition not known about is freshman Olivia Marks a 5'9 G-F from Hanna IN (South Central HS).  This is a nice get as she was top 15 small school all state along with current Trine incoming frosh Allison Capouch.  None of last years seniors are coming back for a 5th year, we only have one senior on this year's team, Chelsea Giesige.  So hoping she stays healthy as the last two years she has dealt with season ending injuries, she was injured in preseason camp last year.  We have an abundance of guard options, but will be small up front other than Abby.  For sure starters will be Sidney at 1, Katie at 3 and Abby at 5.  Sierra might get the nod at 2 guard, maybe Chelsea depending on how her health is.  4 spot is wide open.  Will need some freshman to help and improvement from a few sophomores.  This is a good incoming freshman class as far as scoring, all 5 were 1000 point scores in HS, but none are post players.  Other newcomer is G Allie Walther a transfer from Lake Superior State, who should slide right in backing up Sidney at PG.

Wow, Calvin has a lot of height, 7 girls on the roster 6'0 or taller.
And no seniors.

I think the bulk of teams will be very underclassmen heavy after the incredible group of Seniors that graduated last year.
